Watani USD Bond Fund

Overview

Watani USD Bond Fund is an open-ended debt fund incorporated in Kuwait, licensed and supervised by the Capital Market Authority of Kuwait. The primary aim of the Fund is to enable investors to gain exposure to fixed-income securities either issued or guaranteed by governments, quasi-government entities or corporations registered in the MENA region.

The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation with a low level of risk by providing its investor exposure to the liquid part of the regional bond and sukuk market and predominantly investing in investment-grade securities denominated in USD. It can also exploit opportunities in the sub-investment grade in which it can invest up to 25% of its capital.
